AITA for not wanting a bday party after being refused a present I wanted?

I (17F) will be turning 18 in a couple of days, and naturally, my mom asked me to pick a present I want. My mother is not by any means a greedy or inconsiderate person. She raised me and my brother alone ever since I was old enough to remember and she's been trying her hardest to care for us, which is why I respect and love her the most. I asked for the same thing, a 120 colored pencils Faber Ca...

I Kicked My Stepson Out of His Bedroom So My Daughter Could Have It

I have never used this site before but my daughter uses it pretty regularly and suggested that I post here. I have a daughter and a stepson who I will call Carly and Kyle [Carly-15 and Kyle-18]. They have never been particularly close. Kyle tends to avoid myself and Carly like the plague, he hasn't bothered ever trying to build a relationship with us. I have been with Kyle's dad since the ki...

AITA for expecting my fiancée to not wear her late fiancés ring anymore?

My fiancée (M) was engaged before me. Her fiancé pa*sed away in a pedestrian car accident 3 and a half years ago. We met a year and a half after he pa*sed on tinder. On our first date she told me what happened and then I noticed an engagement ring on her right hand ring finger. I didn’t say anything. A couple months in I brought it up and M said that she will wear the ring on her right hand unti...

R***st Chef Faces Terrible Consequences After Implying That Chinese Cuisine Is Less Than French Cuisine

I've been married to my wife for ~10 years and we're a mixed-race couple (I'm Asian and she's Caucasian). I've gotten along with her family (MIL, BIL, SIL), but I always felt like her FIL and other SIL (Sarah) never liked me. I'm a professionally trained chef with 15+ years of experience and I work at a high-end Chinese restaurant (a spin-off of a popular one in Beijing) in a large US city. My cr...

AITA for telling my adult daughter the truth about why I wasn't in her life?

Recently, I got back in contact with my adult daughter M, after having had nothing to do with her since her birth. She's 25 now, but honestly I wasn't around from her birth all the way through to when her mother d*ed a couple years ago. Now, I know I'm not a perfect person here, I've done some bad things, but in this case I don't think I was the bad guy. M's mother and I dated for about a year a...

UPDATE - AITA for kicking my wife and her daughter out of my house?

Hey guys, a lot of you asked me how I am doing and for an update. It has been a couple of weeks since the incident now. I met with my wife, and we discussed everything. She wanted to continue with our marriage and give it a second chance, but I told her I want a divorce. It was very hard for me, but in the end, I think it was the right thing to do. I still love my wife, but I don’t want to be ca...

AITA for refusing to let my parents move in and reminding them that they backed the wrong horse?

My (37m) family comes from and is a long line of doctors, being a doctor is the only acceptable profession in their eyes and anything aside from that is met with literal abandonment. Which is what happened to me when I turned 17 and told my family I was NOT going to be a doctor but to build an acting career / social media career (youtube wasn't huge then) and supplement my income with small busin...

Reddit User Slammed By Wife And In-laws For Cuddling With His Daughter

I have 3 kids, 15F, 12F and 7M. My oldest has always been a cuddler, and that suits me fine because I am too. Recently my in laws were over, and we were all watching a movie together. It was a kids movie, and so my 15yo was bored out of her mind and tired, so she started to snuggle up to me and go to sleep. After the movie was over, we sent all the kids to bed/their rooms and got chatting for a...

AITA for telling my wife that she doesn't spend enough time with her son and is not being a good mom to him?

When my wife was 20, she had a son, "Brandon" for the sake of this post. It was just the two of them for a long time until I met my wife in 2016. Things moved quickly in our relationship and by 2017 we had moved in together and she was pr****nt. My wife comes from a big family (1 of 5 kids) and had always wanted at least four kids, so she was eager to get started on adding to our family since by t...

AITA for not doing a favor for my dad and telling him I don't owe him or his favorite wife and kids favors?

After our mom d*ed, dad told me and my siblings (17m, 16f and 14m) that he was glad that part of his life was over and he was going to find someone he actually loved and wanted to be with, and we better be ready because he wasn't slowing down for us. This was 10 years ago. He met a few women before his wife of 9 years. They were together a few months before they got married, and she was pr****nt...

Woman Hires And Fires MIL As Her Babysitter Because Of Her Messy Att*tude, Husband Feels Terrible About It

Back 4 months ago both my husband and I landed the same job, making fantastic pay. This job pays $28 an hour so this was HUGE for us. The problem is that it's overnight shifts so we needed a sitter for the kids. We asked MIL to do so, she said yes and we told her to pick what she felt was a fair amount for payment. She said $300 on the 3 day weeks and $400 on the 4 day weeks. (12hr shifts) I wi...

I Refused To Pay For Uninvited Guests At My Son's Birthday And Now Everyone Is Mad

So my son had his 10th birthday party at a jump place on Sat**day. He wanted to invite 5 friends. We sent the invites early enough, all went well. Until a few days before the party he said his friend wanted to invite a girl. This girl is not very nice to my son so I told him no, let your friend know I said that wasn’t going to work so it wouldn’t look like my son was at fault. Lo and behold the ...
